Awake, awake, the world is young- for all its weary years of thoughtsThe starkest fights must still be fought – the most surprising songs be sung! James Elroy Flecker.

The school of hard knocks

I think most of you reading this post got your education from the same school I did – the school of hard knocks. We realised early on that life in this whirled was not the way we had been conditioned to see it. Many of us were misfits and rebels, dreamers and poets, souls too sensitive for the sacrificial horror of this world.

The teaching of hard knocks

As we look back upon our lives, we can see the progression of our conscious understanding. The school of hard knocks has whittled away the dross of normality, and given us a totally different perspective of the world in which we live – and our place in it. We are witness to the insanity that calls itself reason on every level of being – and we know that humanity on its present course is unsustainable – and doomed.

The understanding of hard knocks

As ugly as it was, I’m thankful, I went to the school of hard knocks. I’m glad I woke up to the real shakers and movers on this plane – the blood drinkers disguised as men and women who torture and sacrifice children, create endless wars, and hunt and murder animals for entertainment. Glad I woke up to the understanding of the Loosh Rote, and the soulless monsters that make laws designed to instill fear, stifle opposition, and oppress the human race.

Thoughts are things

We are not taught that thoughts are things, units of electro magnetic charge in a digital reality. Therefore, we are unaware that we are co-creators of reality – but our handlers know what we are capable of manifesting, so they get us to create the reality they want through brain washing, suggestion, coercion and a constant dose of fear. They provide the tools and we build the prison – the prison for ourselves.

Facing reality

In the last forty years, we have seen fifty percent of wild life disappear and fish-less seas are forecast by 2040(See my article The Writing on the Wall) Humanity on its present course is unsustainable. Our environment is slowly being poisoned by drillers, frackers, miners, oil and radiation leaks, and it’s not going to get better any time soon. The monsters are in control of us, and our environment, and have sold the resources of this planet many years into the future.

Breathing in misery

The earth will take the in-breath on the 19th-21st of December, and because of the violence in thought, and deed, that is so prevalent in this sacrificial world, the in- breath will probably be the most toxic and poisonous thought form of this cycle.

The effects of our negatively charged collective thinking will manifest somewhere on the planet after the summer solstice – whether it be drought, crop failures leading to starvation, earthquakes, sun flares, asteroid strike or volcanic eruption. The out breath can only manifest the content of the in-breath. These planetary balancing acts will create more misery for humans on this plane and will further compound the sustainability problem.

What it’s really all about

When we begin to observe reality instead of being emotionally involved with it, many things become crystal clear. We begin to understand what the phrase ‘history repeats itself’ really means. Humanity is like a lemming on its exercise wheel – round and round it goes, same shit different day, year, century and age. In come the babies and out go the old in every species– this life is all about replication of blood bags to be sacrificed on the altar of duality.

I sense we are in hell world, stuck on a human farm and enclosed in a sealed circular time loop, and we don’t even realise it. As we come to understand the fractal nature of everything in this reality, we can see the fractal connection between ants farming aphids, man farming animals – and its counterpart ‘something’ farming us.

The only way to stop being a human farm animal is to stop enslaving animals and profiting from their misery. We can only do this for ourselves – the alternative is to become energetic and physical cannon fodder for the programme.

The Law of Return

The quality of our life matches the quality of our resonance, and our thoughts create our circumstances. The Law of Return operates on both positive and negative frequency patterns, and this is what so called luck and bad luck are really all about – there is no such thing as luck, it’s our thinking and intent.

If your life is falling to pieces it’s your faulty thinking that’s to blame.

Of course a lot of people don’t want to hear that the buck really does stop with them. They don’t want to think that what they put out in the energetic world, they get back in physicality. It’s easier to blame somebody else for all their problems.

Protecting our corner of reality

We can protect our corner of reality by controlling our thinking. We can align ourselves with life – and not with death, and that means no dead animals on the dinner table. Of course the mimics will find excuses for having cruelty as a centre piece, but that’s their karma not ours.

Our thinking and relationship with all of life is of paramount importance in the in-breath. Although we can’t change the whirled reality, we can change ours.

The answer

It is up to each of us to find a way out of this hell world – but first we have to accept the horrible truth about our plight. We have to investigate spiritual laws, learn about the rules that govern this reality – look for the truth, and trust in our hearts that Source will guide us.

Sir George taught that to make anything manifest in this reality, we have to act as if it had already happened. This is a momentous truth – if you can catch it!

The emergence of beauty

When our Mother breathes in 19th-21st of December – let’s make sure our contribution is one of beauty. To protect our spiritual and creative integrity, we need to avoid any type of mainstream news so that our emotions are not triggered, and to avoid conflict – which means shutting our mouths, and keeping our thoughts in a positive state of mind.

Let’s laugh, be happy and creative. Get out the paint box and the brushes, the sketch pad and the pencils. Write a poem or a song or a story. The creation of beauty is our sacred undertaking, and our spiritual obligation to all life at this auspicious time.

Elva, this day was not the best day in my life, but after reading your message-article I as if looked at myself anew, it was like an insight..I think, I’ve “caught your drift” and shall try to do my best to be in High Spirits these days and after, so as to give Glory to Life with my creativity and improved relationships! Now it is midnight, but in the morning I’ll make my first steps.. I’ll try to be very careful with my emotional manifestations and reactions.. May this Great In-Breath be a Breath of Life! Thank you, Elva, for your great work !

This article reasonates 100%to where I am at the moment … well done Elva , fantastic insight and understanding of what’s really going on here on the planet . I wish humans would wake up
Faster and not consent to anything that these mongrels are trying to throw at us .

You posted this yesterday(which happened to be my birthday), and you’ve put into words almost everything I always think about. I’ve been thinking lately about wishing I could go outside and breathe in a big deep breath of fresh air(wouldn’t that be great?), but sadly there is no more clean air in this “whirled”.
Thanks, Elva.

JaymeInAlaska

Dear Elva,
This piece indeed mirrored all that I have thought, and many things you have touched on over the years. Despite the horrors round the globe and over time acknowledged, those who See and Feel and Know, must find their own “fresh air” and carry on. I am grateful to be in remote wilderness, full of melting water millions of years old and untainted, breathing fresh air despite the cold, and still able to find foodstuffs that are opposite of the murder/death/kill franchise. As we all breathe in these last days of December 2017, let us exhale together with Healing on our lips…
Thank you for excellent wordsmithing and Holding Space for those of us who sing in the same key.
Jayme in Alaska

Jayme In Alaska, your comment is most appreciated.
The expansion of awareness we are experiencing is the true awakening – no blinds, and no bullshit.
Resonance is everything as we push our imaginative awareness into all possibility.
Life’s a gas…

It is essential to understand Nature, from rock, through plant, insect, crustacean to lizard, bird, and mammal. To know the Loosh rote is to know Nature and how She operates. And to know Nature is to know Spirit and how It operates. Elementals are the go-betweens, by us personified as the power of Love. But do not fluffy bunny it, there is, from our limited perception, a seemingly cruel side.

Hi Crow,
Glad you flew in for a visit.
The way I see it, duality runs through all dimensions in this construct. Elementals are both positive and negative, and are attracted to us through sympathetic resonance.They operate within the confines of the programme – good faerie/bad faerie. We have to vibrate faster than the programme – beyond the confines of duality – then we can enter the pure elemental realms which are part of our multi-dimensional consciousness.

David Attenborough’s nature programmes are still the best, but I’m British so I am biased. Recently they have changed in style. Their hallmark was the leisured commentary, balanced camera work and appropriate back music. A contrast from the frenetic, almost epileptic-inducing efforts of Discovery and National Geographic. They also didn’t make hunting spiders growl like lions nor continually repeat previous information and scenes (recapping). Are Americans really that stupid? I don’t think so, but your handlers do. Sadly, and it seems to be a direct result of Attenborough’s meeting with Obama, his latest offering Planet Earth II (notice the eleven) is produced in the style of a Hollywood movie. This is specifically to raise splurging emotional energy from the audience. It also over anthropomorphises Nature. Much of what is done is studio work which is then cgi-ed with a natural backdrop. After the meeting with Obama, Attenborough looked very, very unhappy. We can now see why.

Mick

Indeed, but it is fascinating to relate the natural world on the ‘as below, so above’ principle. There seem to be quite a few courses for the New Year offering the help of certain ascended masters, for the appropriate fee of course. But, I think Nature contains enough clues, and helps to get one’s own intuition fired up. There is that old myth of Thor wishing to reach beyond Asgard, and appealing to his father for help, only to be told that in order to do so he must past through the realm of his mother, Ertha. Perhaps, in order to rise one has to Fall.

Michael

Much love. . .
This article definitely describes where I’ve been at lately. It is important for us all to be mindful of our thoughts, and realize our power to manifest. The trick is to catch ourselves when we . . . spin out, and to reframe our thoughts when we are feeling anxious, are worried, or otherwise ruled by our fears. Focus on what you want to create in your reality (not on what you don’t want) because what you want will happen. In the moment. Trust that.
Thank you Elva! I do believe I did catch it.

Since we are farmed – making us docile, weak-willed and over sentimental, easily prey to emotional manipulation – it stands to reason that the servants of the Predator have also grown weak. They are also driven mad by their addiction and cannibalism. In desperation the false servants of light open their doors of esotericism in the hope of a better Harvest, and a collection of higher quality Loosh. The ascended masters are growing weak and hungry, the gods becoming more diseased, the energy of their worshippers no longer sustaining them. The reputation of this place has dropped remarkably; a change of management is long overdue due. Scientists toil frenetically to create another viable hybrid life-form, using out-moded rituals and energy patterns to open the Sethian Tunnels. The reptile line has been implanted, controlled, slandered and back-stabbed – a Judas goat for those desperate to rule forever.

Everything that we can name takes place within the confines of the matrix – the so called ascended masters are also part of the matrix programme. It’s all a bullshit distraction….
Once you cotton on to the truth, it doesn’t matter whether our handlers are weak, strong, hungry or otherwise. They are irrelevant….and only apply to those who resonate with the programme.
We have to learn how to vibrate faster than the programme and align ourselves with life and neutralise the parasite within. I sense this is happening.

‘Contradictions abound everywhere.’
Of course they do, Mick. That’s what happens in a duality….
All of 3D from the cradle to the grave is one big distraction.
We are just killing time aren’t we? Distracting ourselves from the inevitable….
And the owners of the farm have all bases covered – lots of dead end rabbit holes to run down. Lots of stuff to keep us away from the magnificence of All.
This reality is the parasite’s ‘whirled’ and all the intellectual bullshit in it belongs to the parasite. What does ‘ascended master mean’ – it’s a fucking hierarchy and has no place in truth. Just another distraction that we can spend years chasing….trying to become…whatever.

When we align to life and not death – when our awareness becomes one in understanding – then we find out who we really are.
This blog is a sign post nothing more….
It’s a meeting place of awareness for Source beings.

But, you are right about vibrating faster. And certain things within the Game can help us attain that condition. Besides, there are certain Realms I resonate with and enjoy – Faerie, for example. To escape completely one would have to live on a mountain top.

Mark f

There is no escape though is there ?
Suicide is an option with no guarantee
Of permanent release or relief for us
We chose this compendium of games
In this apocalyptic era to share an experience
Of the consequence of forgetting who we are
And losing or wasting our power
We are only just starting to wake up
To this in great numbers but we are already
Having an effect and changing the rules
Consciousness is seeping through the cracks
And will soon flood this plane
WE are the ones breaking into the farm
Hacking the programme to raise the vibration
Resonate with the energy of that truth in 2017!!!
Big love to ya x

Big love to you too, Mark.
I think there is an escape and many people do escape for seconds at a time. Have you ever met some living beings eyes and been transported for a moment to ‘a secret glory’ where there is no me or you….. It’s staying in that ‘all state’ that’s hard.

Mark f

Oh elva
Some of the altered states I’ve been in
I wouldn’t care to return to in a hurry !
I experience many transient states of being
From density in the extreme all the way to
Blissful states of nothingness and sublime love…
I have lost long lengths of physical being
Only to fall back to earth heavier than ever
So yes…temporary or momentary escape is
Achievable in many ways but for me the shortcuts
To heaven are often balanced out with a return trip
To hell…sometimes enlightening sometimes terrifying
And eventually always back to my trusty old 3D meat suit
In limbo land…
Still plenty of work to do here and now though eh ?x

Mark f

Mick

I think to run away is a misdirection. I feel there is a needed restoration, if only on a personal inner level. The physical form was meant to fully integrate with Spirit but, as you say, there was a hijack. What was designed to be a ballet became an abattoir. We were once guardians of life, keepers of balance and continuity. There are children yet to make their mark, who will awake as lightning sears the sky. I will rediscover the green and the gold, and await their flowering.

Mick

We are One being, One love and One life in all life. Separation is the Luciferian deception…..
A cosmic wave passed through our reality over the winter solstice…we are feeling it…we are creating beauty. Let’s hold fast to the vision and the dream…..

Mark f

Emergence……..
It…
Is the consciousness
Which had lost itself
Returning to itself
Emerging out of its
Giant self forgetfulness
Slowly…painfully…
As a life that is would be sentient
To be more than sentient
To be again
Divinely self conscious
Free…infinite…and immortal……..

We are ALL ONE! I AM another YOU and YOU GUYS are the best parts of ME! I LOVE YOU ALL UNCONDITIONALLY! Great posts everyone. GOD bless you Elva, keep up the great work. Hope everyone enjoyed the pagan festivuses! LOL I have been in the woods giving the deer hunters HELL! I am glad that BULLSHIT is over so now I can walk with the creatures of the forest. East Texas is beautiful this time of year. Yesterday I saw a momma bobcat and her three kittens. I haven’t seen them since September, I was thinking of them and there they were! I just LOVE when things work out!

Mick

This is a beginning not the end
And I’m not afraid, I just pretend
‘Cause I don’t wanna look like I am stronger
Than anyone else here
But I can see my future bright and clear
And I can see my world with no more tears
But tell me what’s a chance if you don’t take it
There’s no use in a plan if you don’t make it
If you’re tired of a rule, just go out and break it

So if you try to stop me now
And if you come to tell me
You will hold me down
It’s just because I have to spread my wings
And learn how to fly
I’m gonna break my chains
I’m gonna break my chains
I’m gonna break my chains
Tonight
Break my chains

Thank you Mark. I am well and truly blessed to be where I am. The woods are a beautiful symphony of creation and I feel so much a part of it. IT IS ME. Normally the woods are alive with the sound of all the creatures that call it home. The only time it is quiet is when the mountain lion comes through. He follows the spring fed creek behind my house and comes through about once every two or three months. I have played cat and mouse with him several times. LOL With me being the mouse! He has followed me home on several occasions. I have tried to double back on him a few times but he is way to smart for that. He is beautiful, about six and a half feet long from his nose to his tail. Probably three hundred pounds, pure poetry in motion. At night I sit in my living room and watch the deer eat the grass in my front yard. Normally a possum or a coon stop by to finish off the cat food in the garage. My house was built in 1863, it is one of the oldest houses in Rusk county. The people who built it planted cedar trees and pecan trees the day it was finished and they are so beautiful! Flying squirrels glide from top to top at night. It’s so cool. I hope that you are doing well. Much LOVE to you my brother from another mother!

Mark f

No wonder you exude positivity man!
You truly are living the dream…
From an outsiders point of view
The USA appears to be free falling
Into oblivion so it’s refreshing to read
Your description of an enviously idyllic
Life experience still in existence…
I have no clue how far it is from
South Dakota to east Texas but if I was elva
I would be heading your way with a backpack
And a good pair of boots …
Surfing that wave of love bruv!

Mark f

As one by one
We fully remember
And realise who we are
We become aware of the
Individual responsibility this brings
We can choose to harness and balance
The power and use it wisely to create beauty
Or we can choose a path of ugliness and entropy…
It is glaringly obvious to even the half awake
Which choice our leaders are making…
Unless you wish to join them
Let our focus of attention no longer be
On all the insanity and suffering they bring forth…
Be inspired by this wave of energy to lighten and lift
Ourselves in love and expansion of consciousness and fly free ! xxx

The ‘hole’ thing (at this level) being run off ‘sexual’ energy, you are not slurprised? As Elva likes to bang on about, the division of the ‘whatever it was/we were/ being,’ into M & F, DUALITY/polarisation, and the consequent constant ongoing incompleteness, with the concomitant ‘energetic pursuit factor’ and collisions provided/provides LOADSA LOOSH, call it what you will.
As my song ‘The Intelligence Test’ cunningly puts it, ‘Don’t try to skip the sections on Money and Sex,
they’re an essential part of the Intelligence test.’
It took me a long time to get this into perspective.
I hate agreeing with Gautama, in view of what ‘Buddhism’ has become, but there you go.’
Full lyrics to ‘Cute little boiling Frogs/You’re not paying attention.’

‘If you haven’t figured it out yet,
we’re already living in hell.
You’re not paying attention.
You’ve got no sense of smell.
The odour of the burning corpses,
smoking on the barbecue.
From animal or human sources,
doesn’t seem to matter to you.

You’re not paying attention.
We’re living in an abattoir.
A conflict-riven dimension,
where EVERYTHING’S on FIRE.
Destroying any weaker forces.
Crushing their resistance to.
the plundering of their resources,
just like we always do.

It’s all perfectly normal.
We’re living on a funeral pyre.
Not really paying attention.
The temperature gets higher.
Who you calling blinkered fools?
We’re only cute little frogs.
This cauldron is our new swimming pool.
(It just happens to be)
Balanced on some burning logs.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Their money is for making you slaves.
Oceans of radiation.
The air is full of microwaves.
Their propaganda always tells you,
you can buy EVERYTHING you desire.
But can you really afford the trip,
from the FRYING PAN into the FIRE.

Oh, an’ it looks like they wanna start WW111 with Rossiya before Trump gets ingorgerated…..if we can believe (I can) that they’ve sent 3600 main battle tanks to Europe for chiefly Germany and Poland. …Starting this weekend.
As they are lying flat out, and the faithful slaves are reporting Clapper, Biden, and the various agency chiefs, senators and congresspersons’ lies as ‘TROOTH,’ or should that be ‘ Strewth,’….
I guess Obama having ‘failed,’ and Hitlery not in, assuming it’s not concentrically a plot within a plot within a plot……someone seems to/the hourglass has run down…..so we need to firmly but gently forbid it ‘in the psyche.’
It would only take one teensy-weensy false flag……’Touch blue light paper and retire.’

Interestingly, for me anyway….I dreamed I was talking to a younger – like at inauguration Obama, who was buried up to his neck in the earth/ground. He seemed ok with it.
After which I was talking, hanging out with and doing stuff with a much younger David Bowie, who I DID know, once upon a time.

Inner space adventures and energy modulation events are our birth-rite. When we observe the lizard politicians, the snake oil tongues and talking heads, we can see what they really are – soulless, bullshit fractals of the matrix.
They use blood sorcery against us….
It’s time to use the Force of Source to energetically modulate their negative frequency patterns and create beauty. I sense that low vibratory pattern cannot effect those that vibrate outside of the matrix.

It’s so much more worthwhile that third dimensional hive mind thinking….
I don’t care about the posturing Luciferian fractals that dance across my screen. They are death dealers – we align ourselves with life.

Mick

Most sites now are caught up in the whirligig of the frenzy of the political mind. War and social collapse are at the forefront, their brazen voices shrill and harsh like the harpies they are, eager for the feast of fear.

It is time to retreat to the Heart, the still shelter in the eye of the storm. It is time to trust in our knowingness, feeling a love that is everlasting and unassailable, whatever our small minds may say, however they may beg to turn back.

There is a natural, organic information highway, connected by leaf, root and stone, wind and water, sunshine and starlight.

Want a message given to a loved one – tell it to a blackbird, whose songs resonate through the ether.

Technology is silicon based, from glassware to microchips. It is highly likely that alleged ETs, such as Greys, are silicon based. It is the most abundant element in the universe. Technology is also alchemy, and man is being transformed back into the Mineral. The problem is DNA, which relies upon carbon.
Organic life on Earth is carbon based because of the fundamental make-up of DNA, which holds consciousness. Create a silicon based DNA that can carry consciousness then organic life is superseded. Man will become an arthropod, machine is more insect than mammal. Hive mind is insect, not mammal. Accepting such technologies as Oculus is rejecting our mammalian carbon based heritage and, in complete ignorance, embracing the silicon life-form.

Well, Corvus Corvus, they are marketing ‘The Great Escape,’ aren’t they……..I mean ‘One reality’s as good as another,’ ‘Who needs ‘Reality,’ anyway?, or at least what passes for it on this plane.
Obviously the technosheep are not sufficiently distracted……get them all in VR headsets ‘n they’ll
LITERALLY a pushover…..
I do not follow that ‘consciousness is carbon-based’, although the present vehicles are/are so described.
In duality, EVERYTHING has a downside. Ignore at your peril.
Where DO we draw the line?
The thing about ‘personal’ ummm…….’choice,’ is totally misunderstood. You can only make such if you have all the required, necessary information. Otherwise you have simply been sold another incorrect term, which inevitably leads you uncomprehendingly ‘deeper into the downside.’

It’s comforting to know
That these antique valve radio bods

To the frequency of original source broadcasts

There is a difference between silica and silicon.
Silica is a common oxide form of silicon. Silicon is commercially prepared using silica in an electric arc furnace.
Silica is quartz and the more silica we have in our bodies, the more light and information we can carry. A good source of silica is the plant called horsetail.
We can either be borg(silicon)or magician(silica).
